Mr. Coane was hired by me as I had a return to office issue. At first his senior associate took my case at $400 per hour, upon the condition that if I got fired the firm would sue on my behalf on contingency.
No sooner did I sign the retainer, the senior associate quit, and Mr. Coane took over at $750 an hour. I repeatedly asked to be given a cheaper associate but he assured me I needed an experienced senior attorney to keep my job.
All in all I paid Mr. Coane $17K, now remember I am a civil servant earning under $70K with a disability.
Despite all the 'expert' advice I was fired from my job. Mr. Coane then said he was sorry, there was nothing he could do, and that he would not be able to litigate my case unless I continued to pay $750 an hour (When they filed an EEOC before I got fired, it had typos and poor grammar).
When I told Mr. Coane his associate had said if I got fired the case would be contingent he laughed and stated "Yeh sometimes I don't know what my associates tell people."
So after spending $17K I had to get a new attorney.
But it didn't stop, Mr. Coane's office was insisting I pay him an additional $11,500!
I told them they already got $17K, that this was supposed to be on contingency, and I had maxed out my credit cards.
They did not care, they sent this to COLLECTIONS.
My new attorney told me she never heard of an employment lawyer after getting $17K from a disabled fired civil servant being harassed for more $$$ and sent to collections.
They were appalled, they said typically hourly is for defense and this was pure explotation.
The other day, as I am getting a background check for a new job that requires a security check, guess what? I find out Coane and Associates has reported my as owing them $11,500 to the major credit bureaus; affecting once again my employment.
Even worse, the collection agency(SARMA), I told them a year ago this was invalid, they promised this would not be reported. When I called now they said it was indeed marked as 'disputed' and they had no idea why my credit report was slandered.
Summary:
-Told I would have a $400 attorney, instead given a $750 attorney.
-Spent $17K, still got fired.
-Told if I got fired, case would be contingent and they would represent me in a civil suit.
-Got fired, head attorney laughed and said his associates say whatever.
-Had to get new lawyer, new retainer
-Coane asked for an addition $11,500.
-When I told them how there was no money, how they changed the fees and conditions, how they bleed me dry, instead of backing off they sent it to collections.
-I disputed it, but they still reported the debt as invalid impacting my employment.
This guy is a predator that bilks the naive disabled civil servant for every last dime.

I had terrific experience working with Bruce A. Coane on my daughter Green card petition. Bruce suggested an optimal avenue to proceed and all the process was brought to a successful end just in several months. He and his team were very responsive throughout the process, patiently explaining all details and minimizing the stress. G. Itskovich More...

Bruce and his team are amazing. He provided good advice, run everything diligently, was always available to speak and answer my questions and got me what I needed in less time that what I could have imagined. I keep using his firm for the next steps of my immigration process. He never dissapoints. I have many friends that hired law firms that took their money and gave them no results for months. Bruce is the best, no doubt. More...

I have always love the US.I talked with Mr Bruce Coane of Coane And Associates, PLLC, Houston. We agreed on the terms. He set out to demand for tons of documents as evidence for this case. I was tired of the demand at a point. At the time the paper work was finished, we had hundreds of pages to show as proof for the application.It was a long, wary process with clear uncertainties. Yet, hope and patience were the needed food at that time.The wait was long , later on the approval came, followed by the travel document and, finally the green card.I will not forget the dedicated team of Coane and Associates that worked tirelessly on this project. To this team, I say thank you.To Mr Bruce Coane, I say, thank you very much and God bless you. More...

I was wrongfully terminated by my employer. I went to Mr. Coane and explained my case, he then told me what he could do for me, dealing with corporations as you know can take time due to the fact they try and drag it out to were it seems to try and get you to drop out. There were times I just wanted to give up but Mr. Coane and his associates helped me hang in there and explained everything to me. If you have a question for him, you can always email him and he's prompt with responding. I got the amount on what we asked for and a little more. Great job Mr. Coane and, thank you so much. More...
